openal linking problem on vc++ express 2005

I'm new to openal and I'm trying to use it however I'm facing an error in code of the hello world example
1) I downloaded the openAl sdk and from http://www.openal.org and 2) installed it
3) I have added the path of the lib directory (containing alut.lib)
to the library files in vc++
4) I have added the path of the include directory(containing alut.h ,al.h and alc.h) to the include files in vc++

Whilst there are plenty of cross-platform coders here who might be able to answer your question, this is a Mac coding forum, and so it would be far better to ask your question on a Windows coding forum (try GameDev.net's forums)
